Also, did they have to really spoil the Ringer info? Not cool! I was content thinking Gemma was dead and Henry was psycho! (Will be writing a fic, though.)
I think that entire "reader question" was suspect.
The column was posted at the exact moment that Ringer finished on The CW on the east coast feed. Unless the person saw the episode early which I doubt, I think it's a fake (or planted) reader question.
For one of the only times, I am sorry I read a spoiler. That is one major spoiler for Ringer. It takes some of the edge off of tonight's great episode (minus Juliet). Liked the Castle info though.
I'm being a bit cynical really. I just assume that all the questions are 'made up' to suit the particular spoiler information the journalist has discovered. Take this as an example: "Is there a chance that Lexie and Mark will reunite on Grey's Anatomy? —Jessica"I'm sure that hundreds of fans have asked that question or similar. But did Jessica write that particular question? Who knows. Who is Jessica anyway? I really don't mind though. It's done this way on many publications and it's a way for the journalist to construct the story. But occasionally it might catch them out as Bruce_F has mentioned above.
We tried this last year, to have a "ask spoilertv" style weekly column. We had a form where people could submit their questions.
In the 5 days the form was open for, we had over 1000 questions!
Now imagine a site like Ask Ausiello or Kristin etc and they probably have 100 times our traffic. They could easily get 10,000+ questions per week.
It's very easy then from those 10,000+ questions to pick the 10-20 that you have information on and that you want to answer.
I have no doubt that 99% of the people who ask the questions are legitimate. It's just that they have so many to select from it makes them appear to answer any question thrown at them.
I said it before in a comment here.It makes sense that the flashback episode in season 3 might have never happened because it occures after September saves Peter & Walter from the lake.So little Peter & little Olivia never met (too bad!!!) ... That of course raises the question of how Walternate found out about the other universe since Peter never actually incouraged Olivia to talk to Walter (which then led to her crossing over and talking to Walternate instead of Walter) I wish we could just have a marathon and watch the entire season in one day!
Aw, too bad about Gemma. Was hoping we really were rid of her. Never really thought she was gone though, way too obvious. A murder would have been juicy and quite honestly, the most exiting thing to have happened so far.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Yay!

This is true. Then I'm going back to thinking Henry's psychotic ass killed Gemma.
ReplyDeleteWhy is the posted by date November 12?

ReplyDeleteThis scoop on Fringe kinda scared me but I'm still trusting Fringe's producers and writers.
ReplyDeleteLOL

It sadens me that this is Marg's last season, I don't know that Nick is enough to keep me watching.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe Mark is letting Lexxie slip by,not if he truly loves her.
